Henry McPherson is a composer, performer, artist, and improviser. His practice involves the production of scores, prompts, stimulus material, and standalone pieces in various forms of media, for interpretation through sound, movement, and other performance. He maintains a focus on score (in its various definitions) as interface, document-object, and archive, capable of generating unlimited avenues of interpretive and communicative possibility. He is a recent artist in residence at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Despina Rio de Janeiro, and the Fruitmarket Edinburgh.
